Bug #: 31855
Summary: Capitalized Domain Names are not recognized from some
Systems/Providers
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
this is relevant for some QR-Code Applications where capital letters give an
advantage of possible link length like this one:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_Code#Design-QR-Code
the code links to
HTTP://DE.M.WIKIPEDIA.ORG
this is sometimes answered with:
* "Scripts should use an informative User-Agent string with contact
information, or they may be IP-blocked without notice. "
* With a Wikimedia file not found
* With the expected webpage like decapitalized link
it seems to depend on either the user-system (e.g. Android) or the
user-network.
Could it have to do with the server(s) configuration (rewrite-rules?)
